The LEAD Programme
LEAD is a high value leadership development programme which will help you to develop as a business leader.
The £9.5m project with the Northwest Regional Development Agency (NWDA) is designed to help small businesses maximise their potential.
What can LEAD do for you ?
If you are the owner or manager of a small to medium sized business (up to 50 staff) based in the Northwest, LEAD can help you:
- Increase in turnover - 90% of companies on the pilot programme increased turnover by an average of £200k
- Develop your leadership and knowledge and enable you to share experiences with other business owners
- Help you to manage your business more effectively in this tough economic climate
- Increase your confidence in making decisions
- Improve staff productivity and more effective business processes
- Allow you time to work "on" your business, not "in" it
LEAD is "the board you can’t afford" – the support and advice from peers proves invaluable.
